Movie Reviews of The Red Balloon (Released by Janus Films, in association with the Criterion Collection)

Movie Review: Captivating and Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars

Absolutely the most wonderful short film in the world. Originally discovered by my mom, now 82, and shared with me and my then young children (back in the VHS days). Now 20 and 23, one thing my kids really wanted was to be able to see this film again. I am so glad it has been put on DVD. We gave a copy to each of my kids, and my son and his girlfriend watched transfixed with the magic of this wonderful tale. Three cheers to those who originally made the film, and to those who are keeping it alive!

Summary of The Red Balloon (Released by Janus Films, in association with the Criterion Collection)

Newly restored and available for the first time on DVD, Albert Lamorisse s exquisite The Red Balloon remains one of the most beloved children s films of all time. In this deceptively simple, nearly wordless tale, a young boy discovers a stray balloon, which seems to have a mind of its own, on the streets of Paris. The two become inseparable, yet the world s harsh realities finally interfere. With its glorious palette and allegorical purity, the Academy Award winning The Red Balloon has enchanted movie lovers, young and old, for generations.
